Company Profile: British Gas is the largest of the UK’s Big Six energy suppliers and supplies electricity and/or gas to approximately 12 million homes and 500,000 businesses and organisations across the UK. It is a subsidiary of Centrica plc which also owns Scottish Gas in Scotland and Bord Gáis Energy in the Republic of Ireland.

British Gas owns its own gas infrastructure (pipes) that supply homes and businesses but does not own any electricity infrastructure, which are instead run and maintained by regional distribution network operators (DNOs).

For businesses it offers not only business and gas plans but can also help with renewable energy (solar PV, biomass boilers and heat pumps), business boiler installation and repairs, smart metering and improved energy efficiency.
